One World: 24 Hours on Planet Earth

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Nicola Davies and Jenni Desmond's first collaboration: a spectacular tour of Planet Earth and a powerful rallying cry.

Where on Earth are you, right now? It's late where I am and almost everyone’s asleep, but I'm awake, looking out into the night. Wondering…

As the clock strikes midnight, a little girl and her sister visit animals of every shape and size, all around the world – discovering that, in some places, creatures have just started their day, while in others they're already busy hunting for food. Turning the popular concept of time-zones on its head and combining it with a powerful climate message and delightful illustrations, this book is narrative non-fiction at its most spellbinding.

“Nicola Davies is one of the best children’s writers in the business.” Huffington Post

“Jenni Desmond knows just how to make children’s precious imaginations soar.” Guardian
